Added MIME based content type detection

ntninja commented 10 years ago

This patch adds automated MIME type detection for all files types using MimeMagic GEM.

These mechanism are tried to detect the file type:

MIME type detection based on file extension
MIME type detection based on file content signatures (the "magic" part of MimeMagic)
Detection of plain text vs binary file by looking for NUL bytes in the first 1k of the file's contents

This patch also fixes a bug where the files for the listing where collected using a "." glob pattern which ignored filenames which don't contain a dot.

Hey, this looks great, but would be up to updating the specs to match your changes?

Actually, I've got some time, so I'll write the spec. Thanks for the PR!
